There’s a saying, “the process is the punishment” Kelly has done nothing wrong but he will now be subjected to a grueling and costly (in terms of time and likely in terms of $$) process to defend himself. This is authoritarianism in action.

Seems reasonable

Last night I dreamed I was wearing this hoodie and chatting with @nicollewallace.bsky.social. She said what does your shirt say and I repeat it. Then I said “ it was on your show”. Felt I should wear it today. @matthewjdowd.bsky.social

Happy Tuesday, fellow members of a whole.

Common sense is not common

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, and it is the Hope candle today. In the reading from Romans today: "Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light". Let us each wake with hope and bring light into the world as often as we can.

November 28th - December 2nd WE AIN’T BUYING IT‼️

It should be easy for educated, rational citizens to hold these two thoughts in mind: drug traffickers are the bad guys but due process of law protects us all. Being against blowing up alleged drug traffickers at sea on the president's word does NOT make one a supporter of drug traffickers.

Today is International Day for Tolerance! "Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human." Let us "continue promoting dialogue, empathy, active respect for differences for peace & human development."

Today is the day after World Kindness Day - #BeKind #KindnessMatters

Today is World Kindness Day, sorry I’m late 😘 #WorldKindnessDay

Worth a reread . .

I spent 18 mos appealing a refusal to cover certain healthcare, they eventually covered and I ended up getting a check from a class action. I didn’t even know about. It was like a full-time job working on that appeal & I’m an appellate lawyer. I can’t imagine what it’s like for other folks.

Facts: 1) Every government shutdown in the last 30 years has begun while Republicans held control of the House. 2) There have been THREE shutdowns, including this one, which began when Donald Trump was President and his Republican Party controlled both the House AND the Senate.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

That game! Way to go Texas! #Texas #Hook’em

Pretty “swampy” if you ask me

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation. Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

We gotta remember this -

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

I loved this episode so much!!!

Orchid friends, look at this miniature orchid I didn’t know I had and almost missed. #orchids @kendylhanks.bsky.social

This made me tear up

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

As a reminder, I put together a No Kings Day Playlist on Spotify to help keep you focused, encouraged, and positive, not just today but every day we fight against authoritarianism and for the people and place we love. open.spotify.com/playlist/5n0...

The fact that Republican officials are having a debate about whether or not to condemn the Young Republicans Telegram chat says more about the party than even the chat does. You support the evil which you are unwilling to condemn. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism." Once you give up your power, the authoritarian wins.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein? MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.
